you like to get your federal refund? screen, In my Bank should be selected. Click Continue.

been accepted
(or mailed), it's too late to change your bank account for direct deposit.
Workaround
If you want to
change or edit the banking information that is shown, make sure that the box
stating "I want my refund deposited into
this account" is unchecked.
Scroll down to the
bottom of the page and select Continue.
You will be taken to
a new screen titled, "Let's get your bank
account info".
This will allow you
to enter the new or updated banking information that is to be used for your
2016 direct deposit.
